The courier delivers the package containing the umbilical cord blood to the laboratory for further processing

Laboratory specialists carry out umbilical cord blood processing, stem cell extraction and preparation for cryopreservation. At the same time, the specialists carry out a cord blood test to exclude the presence of bacteria and viruses. Until these tests are completed, the frozen samples are stored in a quarantine area, separately from other samples.

The extracted stem cells are placed in cryopreservation bags, which are then marked with a special label containing an individual code. The stem cells are then frozen at –100°C.

After freezing, stem cells are placed in liquid nitrogen dewars for further storage at 196°C. This cryogenic technology allows to preserve stem cells for an almost unlimited period of time;

After isolating the stem cell concentrate and placing it in the cryopreservation facility, stem cell center issues an umbilical cord blood stem cell certificate, which shows the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the stem cell concentrate.
